3.5 Ton HEIL 14.5 SEER Package Gas

Removed an Old Snyder General Gas Pack that was installed in 1989. It was in good working Order. The Customer decided not to replace the Condenser Motor on the "Old Thing". Installed a New HEIL 14.5 SEER Gas Pack, New Honeywell PRO5000 T-Stat, New Return Air Grille and Sealed the Duct With Mastic. Sweet Change out.

Just a suggestion if you want to do an even better job. Where the condensate is going to drip, dig a hole with a post hole digger, line it with PVC pipe, fill it with loose fill rock, this should be level with the ground at the top, now when the unit drains you don't create a big soggy/muddy/pond area in their yard that gets run through by mowers, attracts wasps, and breeds Mosquitos.

We stock and use 3/4" rock base too, I just wonder if gardeners have the same "feel good using it" feeling when they have to mow around the stuff? Looking good. Glad to see the trap is serviceable. We use a deeper J-Trap and we slip plug a reducing 1x3/4x3/4 tee so a Gallo Gun fits in easier.

Looks good, I like it when people take time to make nice flashing. Most of the package units around here has flat top metal that ends up holding water and becomes a rusty mosquito breeding ground. Also, like Heils.
